Definitions Applying toBloodstream Infection
(BSI)
Laboratory-Confirmed BSILCBI must meet one of the following three criteria (Criterion 1 and
2 may be used for patients of any age including patients ≤1 yearof age):
Criterion 1: Patient has a recognized pathogen from one or moreblood cultures and organism cultured from blood is not related toan infection at another site.
Criterion 2: Patient has at least one of the following signs orsymptoms: fever (>38°C), chills, or hypotension
and signs and symptoms and positive laboratory results are notrelated to an infection at another site
and common skin contaminant (i.e., diptheroids [corynebacteriumspp.], Bacillus [not B.anthracis] spp. Propionibacterium spp.,coagulase-negative staphylococci [including S.epidermidis], viridansgroup streptococci, Aerococcus spp., Micrococcus spp.) is culturedfrom two or more blood cultures drawn on separate occasions.

Surveillance Tip 2 (cont’d)
Consider the following: If BC positive for Staph aureus ……order additional
cultures from other sites If BC positive for Enterococcus, ……order additional
cultures from other sites (Don’t wait for final species!) If BC positive for S. epidermidis, remember that other
parts of Criterion 2 must be met for the case to be aCLAB.
LCBI Notes (cont’d)In criterion 2 and 3, the phrase “two or moreblood cultures drawn on separate occasions”means (1) that blood drawn from at least two blood draws
were collected within two days of each other (bloodsdrawn Monday and Wednesday = good!; Monday andThursday = bad!) and
(2) that at least one bottle from each blood draw isreported by the laboratory as having grown the samecommon skin contaminant organism (for a pediatricdraw it may consist of a single bottle due to volumeconstraints)
“Sameness of Organisms”If the common skin contaminant is identified tothe species level from one culture, and acompanion culture is identified with only adescriptive name (i.e., to the genus level), then itis assumed that the organisms are the same.

Pneumonia DefinitionsHAP: Hospital-acquired pneumonia Defined as pneumonia that occurs ≥48 hours after admission
and was not incubating at the time of admissionVAP: Ventilator-associated pneumonia Defined as pneumonia that arises more than 48-72 hours after
endotracheal intubationHCAP: Healthcare-associated pneumonia Includes any patient who was hospitalized in an acute care
hospital for two or more days within 90 days of the infection;resided in an extended-care facility; received recent IVantibiotics, chemotherapy or wound care within the past 30 daysof the current infection; or attended a hospital or hemodialysiscenter

Definitions Applying toVAP
NHSN: Pneumonia 11. 2 or more serial X-rays with one of the following:
New or progressive and persistent infiltrate Consolidation Cavitation Pneumoceles, in ≤1 y.o.
2. At least 1 of the following: Fever (>38 C/100.4 F) with no other cause Leukopenia (12,000 WBC/mm 3) Altered mental status
3. At least 1 of the following: New onset of purulent sputum or change in character of sputum, or resp
secretions, or suctioning requirements New onset or worsening cough, or dyspnea, or tachypnea Rales or bronchial breath sounds Worsening gas exchange (e.g. O2 desats [e.g. PaO2/FiO2 ≤240] req. or
increase ventilation demands
VAP Q&AQuestion I: If the patient is intubated pre-admission, howshould we determine the VAP?
If the patient was symptom free at the time of the intubation bythe paramedic or emergency department, and meets the CDCNHSN criteria/algorithm for VAP, it is a positive device-associated pneumonia. However, if the patient was intubatedand received care at another hospital and subsequentlytransferred to your facility, then you need to apply the 48 hourrule. Only pneumonias appearing 48 hours post admission wouldbe consider a VAP.
Questions and Answers are posted in response to questions asked by participants in a Quality Improvement ProjectIn New York State. Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Prevention (VAPP) Project FAQshttp://jeny.ipro.org/showthread.php?t=2025
VAP Q&AQuestion II: If a VAP occurs within 48 hours ofintubation, it is considered hospital-acquired? Yes, the development of a VAP can occur within 48 hours of
intubation.
Question III: What is the minimum time frame? There is no minimum period of time that the ventilator must be in
place in order for the pneumonia to be ventilator-associatedexcept for the transferred in example in question # 2.
VAP Q&AQuestion IV: Do we call it a VAP if the patient aspiratedon intubation? If the patient was symptom free and had obvious aspiration at
the time of the intubation, it is a hospital-associated event. If thepatient met VAP criteria, the answer is yes.
Question V: What is the definition of a VAP? It is a pneumonia that occurs in a patient who was intubated and
ventilated at the time of or within 48 hours before the onset ofpneumonia

VAP Q&AQuestion VI: I rarely have a VAP defined as a PNEU 2 or PNEU 3,what am I doing wrong?
You are not doing anything wrong. In general, the majority of VAPs identifiedthrough surveillance fall into PNU1. This is because most ventilator-associatedpneumonias are clinically diagnoses without specific lab findings to confirm theexact etiology that would place them into the PNEU-2 category.
Question VII: Why do we use PNU1, PNU2, and PNU3? PNEU1 is the domain where all the “clinically” defined pneumonias are tracked.
Clinically defined meaning the use of chest x-rays along with the patients signsand symptoms. PNEU2 tracks the pneumonias with specific lab confirmation(positive blood or pleural cultures, quantitative cultures, PCR, or antibodies, etc.)and PNEU 3 tracks the pneumonias in immunocompromised patients.

VAP Q&AQuestion VIII: Regardless, is it correct that the first stepis a chest x-ray finding? Correct, you are looking for a new or progressive and persistent
infiltrate, consolidation, cavitation or pneumatoceles in < 1 y.o.per chest x-rays. The other clarification comes with determiningif the patient is with or without underlying disease. If the patientdoes not have underlying disease, one or more serial x-rays withone of the findings is enough. If the patient does have underlyingdisease, two or more serial x-rays with findings is necessary.
Note: underlying disease includes patients with pulmonary orcardiac disease (e.g., interstitial lung disease or congestive heartfailure). Also, radiologists may report pneumonia as “air-spacedisease”, “focal opacification”, or “patchy areas of increaseddensity”
